At a convention in Washington, D. C.,I met a man who was visiting from a rural community. One night, he got into a taxicab and saw the name Allah on the dashboard.Unaccustomed to the cultural diversity of the city,he asked the driver,“Is that your name?" Shocked, the driver responded,”No. That is the god I worship!"
在華盛頓特區參加會議時,我遇到了一位從農村來的參觀者.有一天,他坐上了出租汽車,看見在車蓋上寫著一個名字—阿拉。由于不熟悉城鄉間的文化差異,他問司機,
“這是你的名字嗎?"司機感到很吃驚,回答說:“不,這是我所崇拜的神。”
Embarrassed,the visitor was determined not to make the same mistake again. The next time he got into a cab,he noticed a crown on the dashboard,and he asked the driver,"Is that a religious symbol?"
這件事使得那位參觀者感到很尷尬,他打定主意,絕不再犯類似的錯誤。當他又一次乘坐出租車時,他注意到汽車儀表裝置臺上有個皇冠圖樣的東西,他便問司機,“那是個宗
教的象征嗎?”
"No,"the driver responded. "It's an air freshener."
“不是,”司機說:“那是空氣調節器。”
